Dermal Fillers

Dermal filler treatments are very common

Have you noticed that some people on TV and in the public eye look very good? Many people that you know too! Chances are they have had dermal fillers and/or other cosmetic treatments to make them look fresh and youthful in a natural way.

Why do people have Dermal filler treatments?

In our busy competitive society, we know that someone is more likely to do business with another person if they look friendly and attractive.

Many people have these treatments for other reasons too, like self esteem, to help attract a mate, and even to be able to obtain and remain in work.

Many have these treatments before a holiday, festive season, and before special events like weddings and reunions.

People like the effect of a dermal filler treatment that gives an instant, natural freshening and youthful look.

These days with modern ways of performing this treatment, many of our clients don't get significant swelling or bruising and there is an immediate return to work.

What are common concerns?

Many describe concerns that involve the shape of parts of their face ..... from sagging cheeks to jowls as well as under eye hollows and concerns about nose shape.

Note:Hyaluronic acid fillers have been used in over 20 million people.

What can my approach to dermal filler treatments be?

We suggest your first treatment is a subtle improvement overall, so that others may view you as ‘looking well' or ‘having just had a holiday'. Then the idea is to have top up treatments every few months so that the results are maintained, and subtly improved over time without anyone noticing. Remember, the treatment stimulates collagen, too.

Alternatively, you can go straight ahead and get more dramatic results straight away!

You can choose whether you wish to be subtle with your treatment initially, or whether you wish to fully correct your concerns in one go!

What is involved?

It takes 30-90 minutes depending on the areas treated.

No or minimal anaesthetic needed. However, maximum pain management is available should you wish it.

Some may get some minor swelling for a couple of days, but many can go straight back to work or go out for the evening.

Depending on the product used, the results may last up to a year or even longer if topped up within a few months.

Dr Frances Pitsilis and her Skinfresh Clinic staff are well-trained, experienced injectors who use the product and procedure best suited to you.

Can Dermal Filler treatments be complemented by other treatments?

Yes. Dermal filler treatments can be combined with specific combinations of skin treatments according to your other needs that will also tighten the skin and give other benefits! These can include our comfortable Titan® skin tightening treatment, Laser Genesis®, Intense Pulsed light, Dermapen®, and Platelet Rich Plasma.

Most of these treatments can tighten along with helping you in other ways.
